temporarily disable symantec endpoint protection

Click Clients and select the Client group containing the clients you wish to disable the firewall on.Click Policies> Firewall and Double click the Firewall policy used by the clients you wish to disable the firewall on.Login to the Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager (SEPM).

Make sure clients are in Server control mode

Note: Disabling/withdrawing the SEP client's firewall policy on clients in either client or mixed control mode will not disable the firewall as the client is already using a locally configured firewall policy instead of one configured in the SEPM. The NTP firewall can be set into passthrough mode either by disabling/withdrawing the client's Firewall policy, or by disabling the component in the local SEP client interface. It places them in a passthrough mode where network traffic is still passed through the drivers, but is not evaluated against any rules or definitions. Note: Disabling these features does not stop the associated drivers. It may be necessary to disable each of these technologies when troubleshooting network related issues on computers protected by SEP.

Symantec Endpoint Protection (SEP) clients use two different technologies to protect computers from network attacks/exploit attempts: the Network Threat Protection firewall and the Client Intrusion Detection System (CIDS) engine.
